Majority against division ~
ELsEwHERE.
Lawrence county gave a majority Of
about 500 for division.
Pennington county elected Mr..
Humphrey, the democratic candidate
for county commissioner, by majority
of 10, and gave a majority Of about 100
against division.
The territory has gone for division,
but the majority could not be learned
up to the hour of going to press.
THE STATES.
Reports up to last evening indicate
that New York has gone democratic by
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Ohio republican by $4,000.
Pennsylvania republican by $4,000.
Massachusetts, Iowa. and Nebraska
republican, by majorities which could
not be definitely determined.
Virginia very close, and not conceded
by either party.
Maryland democratic by the usual
majority.
Word has at last been received from
Prof. Clark, who has been in engaged in
testing the refractory ores of Ruby
Basin at San Francisco by the teaching
process The Deadwood papers accept
the report as being quite favorable, and
yet there are reasons to believe that
perfect success was not attained. Prof.
Clark's letter to w. c. Kingsley of
Deadwood, which appears in the Dead
wood papers of the Sth is somewhat in
definite, and while it is quite probable
that the ores can be proftably treated
by the method contemplated, the margin
of profit will probably fall below the
expected figure.
The apology offered by the Buffalo
Gap News to Mr.. Jack Robinson of this
place, for casting such damaging slur
upon this city at his expense was timely,
as the batteries were already charged,
and had the apology not appeared, when
| it did, the "a tenantless tenements OF
Buffalo Gap would have been shaken to
their foundations by the force of the
shock which was so fortunately averted
by the timely retraction.
